The Rangers recalled Boushley from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.

Boushley will provide a multi-inning relief option in place of Jon Gray (shoulder), who landed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. During his previous big-league stints this season, Boushley made 19 appearances and turned in a 5.05 ERA and 1.35 WHIP over 35.2 innings.

The Twins selected Cabrera's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.

Cabrera will be up in the majors with his fourth different team of the season following stints with the Mets, Cubs and Pirates. Over 24 appearances in the big leagues in 2025, Cabrera has posted a 5.79 ERA and 1.29 WHIP in 28 innings. He'll likely have to settle for a low-leverage role in the Minnesota bullpen.

The Rangers recalled Freeman from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday, and he'll start at third base and bat eighth in the series finale in Toronto.

Though he'll enter the starting nine in place of a resting Josh Jung, Freeman is unlikely to handle an everyday role with Texas. He previously went 1-for-7 with an RBI and two runs in four games during a one-week stay in the majors shortly after the All-Star break, but he earned his return ticket by slashing .429/.453/.800 with seven home runs in 18 games after returning to Round Rock.

The Twins optioned Adams to Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.

Adams has struggled since he was called up at the start of August, logging a 7.36 ERA and 12:9 K:BB over 11 innings. The right-hander has made two starts among his eight appearances in the majors this season and could join the rotation as he heads back to St. Paul.

Jung is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Jung will hit the bench after starting the Rangers' last nine games and going 5-for-34 (.147) with a 2:11 BB:K. The freshly recalled Cody Freeman will replace Jung at third base and bat eighth.

Anthony went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a stolen base and two runs scored in Saturday's 7-5 win over Miami.

Anthony scored multiple runs for the fourth time in the last five games, crossing the plate on 10 occasions while posting a .500 OBP during that stretch. In 55 career games in the majors, Anthony has reached base 94 times. Since the 2000 season, the only two American League players to reach base more often in their first 55 games are Ichiro Suzuki (104 times in 2001) and Yordan Alvarez (100 in 2019).

Semien (wrist) will start at second base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

After being hit in the right wrist by a pitch in Friday's 6-5 loss, Semien was able to finish out the contest but was withheld from the lineup for Saturday's 14-2 loss while he contended with swelling and soreness in the wrist. The day off appears to have provided sufficient time for Semien to heal up from the injury, as he'll take back his usual spot at the keystone in the series finale while Ezequiel Duran retreats to the bench.

The Twins transferred Roden (thumb) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.

Minnesota placed Roden on the 10-day IL on Friday due to a left thumb sprain, and though he had been scheduled to meet with a hand specialist before his next steps were determined, the Twins have already elected to rule him out for the season. After being acquired from the Blue Jays ahead of the trade deadline, Roden hit just .158/.200/.263 with an 0:13 BB:K in 12 games for Minnesota. He'll likely have to compete for a strong-side platoon role in the Twins outfield next spring.

Higashioka is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Higashioka will get a breather for the series finale after starting behind the plate Friday. Jonah Heim will form a battery with starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi on Sunday.

Pena (illness) is starting at shortstop and batting leadoff Sunday against the Orioles, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Pena sat out the previous two contests due to an illness but is good to go for Sunday's series finale. The 27-year-old has a .283/.340/.500 slash line with two homers and two steals through 12 games in August.
